A drag and drop application to post a folder or folders of files to specified newgroups using Thoth or MT-Newswatcher. Set your newgroup, news server, personality, and other options, and away you go. That's it.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have used Osiris for some time and very much appreciate the author's freeware contribution. When it works, it works extremely well. However it often pops up a message that says:
"Osiris is sad to say...
What, you don't love me?"
and stops posting. If I am attempting to post 200 files, for example, it may stop after 50, or 100, or 150, requiring me to restart the entire post. This is even if the "Credit Osiris" checkbox checked, so it is unclear why it is unhappy.
I don't at all mind giving credit to Osiris, but the seemingly random behavior is exceedingly frustrating. A fix for this odd behavior would give this a 5 star rating.
Needs better trouble shooting help!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I get an error... â??-27xxâ?? whenever I try it. Something Iâ??m doing wrong Iâ??m sure only the â??Osiris.rtfâ?? file is of very little use. Using a G5/Mac 10.3.4/MT-NW 3.4.
Does what it says, better than the others

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Osiris has worked well for my sporadic posts. It has a nice, clean interface and has been stable for me. I would give it five stars except for one annoyance: when you start the script, the "credit Osiris" box is checked. If you uncheck it, after selecting the posting folder, it is rechecked automatically. Unless you then review your settings, the "posted with Osiris" line will be in all your posts. This is either a bug or just sneaky. Otherwise, great program.
Absolutely ...
